Most of the time, attention is given to what is considered the "best" album by a particular artist. So, if they made more than one, what is their "second" best album.
I wouldn't know where to begin deciding which artist to pick, but I really want to do this because I think it's fun. So I'm just going to list my current top 10 artists and albums that are currently at the top of my top 100.
The Orb...Orblivion-----2nd best...Orbus Terrarum
Kraftwerk... Trans Europe Express------2nd best... The Man Machine
Beatles... Abbey Road------2nd best... Magical Mystery Tour
David Bowie....Diamond Dogs------2nd best... Low
Psychedelic Furs... Talk Talk Talk------2nd best.... Psychedelic Furs
Harry Nilsson... Nilsson Schmilsson------2nd best.... Aerial Balllet
Carole King... Tapestry-------2nd best... Writer
Chemical Brothers... Come With Us-------2nd best... Surrender
Rolling Stones... Hot Rocks------2nd best...... Aftermath
Joni Mitchell... Court and Spark------2nd best...... Hissing of of Summer Lawns

and I've enjoyed it even more than their classic "Diesel and Dust".
I don’t really like Diesel and Dust, and much prefer and like 10 to 1.
Perhaps Diesel and Dust is only considered better because it was commercially more successful, and an international breakthrough.
Tom Waits... I don’t really like his #1 Rain Dogs or #2 Swordfish Trombones, but really like Closing Time and most of his 70’s output, and Mule Variations And Bone Machine In The 90’s.
